rave. The instinct Of human ma ure cries

mother has been in very feeble health all
winter and the effect of tie shock upon
her has been greatly feared.
Such casualties are always terrible, but
The circumstances surrounding this one
make it doubly sad. Three men, brothers,
in the prime of life and in full possession
o. Strength and health, are stricken down
in moment and without warning. 1t is
seldom that any community is called upon
TO w.tness such an awful example of the
uncertainty of life. 1t is seldom that the
sympa ,hes of any community are SO deep
" touched.
The funeral occurred at the Baptist
church. Thursday afternoon, and was at
tended by very large number of people.
The Alpena Guards, of which organization
the three brothers were members, acted as
a guard of honor, marching to the house
and thence to the church and cemetery.
Long before the exercises at the church
We're begun the church was filled and many
went away unable to gain admit.ance As
re funeral coltege approached the church
the streets were crowded with people,
looking upon what is fortunately an un-
wonted spectacle, three hearses each bear
ing the body of one of the dead brothers.
The bodies were removed from the hearses
and placed in front of the pulpit. Seats
had been reserved for the friends and the
Guards, and as these seats were filed the
solemn services began Revs Mcintosh,
of the Methodist church Van Auken, OF
the Congregational. and Walker, Of the
Presbyterian, occupied seats in the pulpit
with the pastor Rev MI. Little. and assist
ed Il m in the services. After singing. pray
er and reading from the Scriptures, Rev.
Mr Little gave an impressive address from
the text Jesus Wept." AT the close of the
funeral se.yices the procession was again
formed. and. headed by the Guards, pro
,ccdcd to the cemetery. where the three
brothers were buried side by Side.

Two of the Many Ways to Promote Tenn
perance,

One way in which the temperance cause
can be p.omoled is by individual effort for
the good of othe.s, not by blatant haran-
gres, in season and out of season-but by
honest and e:tnest words, fifty spoken, and
by the powerful influence Of the example
of temperate and upright lie.
But there is still better way than all
the rest, and that is manly, personal en-
deavor to reform ones self. This should
be the untirng, unremitCing work of all of
us. Let each of us set about uprOoting
and destroying our own deg sfading habits,
and wrong principles; fof they deflce and
dishonor our lives. Let us plant in their
places those commendable practices, those
sterling virtues which will adorn our lives
and make them useful, and when we have
done this, the temperance question WILL SO
far as we are individually concerned, take
care of itself. Then we shall turn from
intoxicating beverages with horror and dis
gust, realizing with fear and trembling that
there is contamination in their use. Then
we shall guard ourselves from contact
with them, as we would guard polished
steel from contact with brine.

fFor the Ellsworth Americana
Shall the Game Laws be Enforced2
Mr.. Editor:

.Hf EHNOf.
The question Of the protection of fish
and game, by law, is much discussed in
this section. The laws appear to be ample
for protection, but the following incident
will illustrate whether the laws are en-
forced in this county or otherwise. Last
Wednesday, three deer torn and bleeding,
were chased out of the woods on to Wcbb's
pond in Eastbrook by dogs. Several men
at work on the pond saw the deer and
dogs and in a few minutes caught dog
and beheaded him on the spot. Two or
three men with dogs soon appeared on the
pond and one of the men caught a deer and
cut its throat, Soon after this another
man with rife made his appearance and
wanted to know who had killed his dog
As no one volunteered to inform him he
very coolly shot one of the remaining
deer the other deer escaping for the
time to the woods. Those men took their
game away and they or other parties were
in the woods near Wcbb's pond yesterday
morning and on Sunday. the day before,
firing rifles and without doubt slaughtering
deer. And still there is no one who will
make complaint or prosecute. These bold
violations of laws, If allowed to 90 unpun-
ished tend to a contempt for all laws Now
who Is to blame for this state of affairs?
| believe that the arbitrary and illegal acts
OF some Of the wardens In scizing and
confisca'iug venisou in transit which was
lswf lily killed, and which the owner had
legal snd constitutional right to send to
any market In the United States, have done
more to create q feeling against all war
dcns and game laws in this vicinity than
ANYTHING else Four years ago the people
generally were in favor Of enforcing the
law. but at the present time they are very
Indifferent, to say the least
If the officers whose duty it is to en-
force the law would deal fairly and justly,
and exhibit as much zeal in toying to pre-
vent the destruction Of the game az they
do In Supplying themselves with vcnison
which they have no legal right TO, we
iould soon see different state Of af-
fairs. FAIR PLAY.

The Methodist Episcopal church pro-
poses to raise a million for missions for
1887, by collection only.
Some pathetic incidents have come to
our notice lately of Indian character. The
following prayer was made by Mugniliksqu
heir to the cbieftainship of the Gittakda-
muks at one of the prayer-meetings held
at the North Pacific Mission (Church Mis-
sionary Society; 80 Almighty Chief on

life among the darkness. Good Chief, if
Thou wilt tighten my darkness, send down
Thy Spirit into my heart, that He may lead
me to where | may rest. | ask this be-
cause Thou art Jesus Christ"
The sacrifice which people are willing to
make for the sake of enjoying the blessing
of the Gospel, is sure evidence of their
appreciation of it. The following is an
account of what was done by handful of
Indians at Oowala, in the Cherokee Ma
ton. Rev. Mr.. Allen, the stated supply
there, writes; "a collection for the Home
Board was taken up last Sabbath by the
church at this place. The amount is S2l.-

An incident is related in the oregon by
William Barrows about the Indians of
1898. Four of them from the land of the
Oregon made a journey 10 st. Louis,
which was at that time a Roman Catholic
city, to get the white mans book, which
would tell them of the white mans God
| and heaven. 1t is doubtful whether the
ROmanistS ever put into an Indian tongue
and through tribe an amount of Scrip
turc equal to the shortest gospel In that
old Indian and papal city the poor Flat

were provided with wigwam ground, and
they were blanketed and ornamented.

and abundantly. But the heart that had
to be filed with better ideas of God and of
